Our lab investigates the causes and consequences of microbial community formation, including the roles of fungi in symbioses, how microbes respond to and influence a changing environment, and how to harness microbes to improve conservation of macroorganisms.

Here’s the online lab handbook with expectations and information for lab members.

Space is limited, and applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Please feel free come by my office to chat with me if you have a specific project in mind. Priority is given to students with at least 2 years left until graduation.

Here’s our shared reading folder.

If you need a reference letter from me for graduate or professional school, please see these instructions
